Using the Right little.

perhaps the most unorthodox mistake"
writes an authority on royal etiquette, sis
the one which is so commonly fallen into Of
multiplying the title when addressing those
possessed Of one. In France, speaking with
a duke, a marquis or connt, one gives him
his nobility appellation once or twice to con-
vey to him that his rank is recognized, and
then reIapses into the ordinary monsieur. To
nse the title without that pretext is sign Of
familiarity, and not generally practiced at
all among men. Women should be careful
how they allow men TO call them by their
title alone. The plain madame is far more re-
spectful. When mentioning titled persons in
their absence nothing is more fatal than to
use the title without adding the family name.
1t is snobbish, and implies that the speaker
knows but one person of the order and is
elated by it! In England kings are addressed
sir the queens as madame The same az
plies to princes and princesSes of the blood;
an early opportunity must be taken to intro
duce the formula, your majesty or your
royal highness, in the following sentences,
written or spoken. "-Philadelphi Call.

Honesty the Best Policy

"Let the buyer beware" is legal maxim,
and it was rigid business rule long within
my memory. The shopper had to be on guard
against loaded cottons and dress stuffs, imi.
tation goods of all kinds, and, in short he had
to he an expert to be shopper. If you
bought anything, from a spool of cotton to
1900 suite of furniture, you took them out of
the store at your peril, and the merchant
washed his hands over the transaction. He
had your money, you had the goods-what
more would YOU havei Ny dear sir, or
madame, he was really very sorry if they
didn't suit, but you had ample opportunity to
examine them, and therefore, and so on.
fancy that our fashionable shoppers would
open wide their eyes if they were treated so
now. You can go to any store that adver-
tises, examine, handle and purchase, and if
you change your mind return the article I'M
soiled, exchange it for anything else of the
same value or receive your money back do
not know when this era of honesty set in, but
it is now almost universal The rise of so
many merchants of this city from the little
stores and little ways TO the colossal trade
marts and generous dealings always reminds
me Of the advice Of the farmer to his son:
Honesty is the best policy, Samuel. know,
because | have tried both. -"Observer" in

While the car must take pleasure in the
congratulations that have poured in upon
him over his recent escape from assassination,
we may be sure that he does not find in
his good fortune an augury of future escapes.
His father survived four attempts to take
his life-one being made by Zaragazoff, in
1866, at st. Petersburg; a second by Bere-
chovsky the following year at Paris; the
third by Soloveff, in 1878, at St Petersburg,
the fourth occurring soon after at Moscow.
Yet all these were to end in his falling a
victim TO the assassin's bomb in March, 1881.
In like manner the present car must recog-
nize only too well that the revival of plots to
kill him means also their repetition at con-
venient times, and with all the devices which
modern science puts at the command Of the
Nihilist. 1t would not be surprising to find
another attempt made as caution in the pub
lie appearances Of the emperor is q little
relaxed Car Alexander III clings to his
despotic traditions, but he is carrying on the
business Of autocracy under serious dis
advantages. York Times.

almost the only place on the Riviera that was
not injured by the earthquake, while in one

arisen from the place being built upon rock

passes quietly down the stairs and without
stirring foot out of doors she loses herself on
the crowded scene OF action among the throng
Of the women buyers, a lady Of leisure,
among her kin and her kind. She has forgot
